MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE WOTS Several States Considering Further Delay in Polio Vaccination Program Friday, June 3, 1959 Lack of Vaccine Prior To End of School Term Cited Washington 4J.P.) A grow ing number of states appeared today to be on the edge of post poning polio vaccination pro grams until after the current polio season ends next fall. Sn far nine states and the District of Columbia either have made firm decisions to halt their innoculation programs or have decided tentatively to do so if enough vaccine is not released to complete shots in the very near future. Poslpontmenl Expected A spokesman for the National Foundation for Infantile Paraly sis conceded that "it is beginning to look as though more states will be postponing their pro frams." The District of Columbia said Thursday it would cancel all first and second shots if enough vaccine is not available before chool is out June 16. Other states which have indi cated reluctance to continue their programs during the peak polio season of the summer or after school is out and children scatter are New Jersey, New York, Idaho, California, New Mexico, Maryland, Oregon, Washington and Texas. In other developments on the vaccine situation: 1. New Jersey's entire supply of vaccine was recalled for fur ther testing under the govern ment's new safety standards. 2. Chairman Lister Hill CD- Ala.) announced that Democrats on the Senate Labor Committee will support a new bill to pro vide free polio shots to all Ameri ca's children. Program Said Defective Hill rapped as "gravely defec tive" President Eisenhower's $28 000,000 progam under which the government would pay for vac cine only for those children who cannot afford it. He said the administration plan would provide free vaccine for only about 11,000,000 of the 51,000,000 children "who should be inoculated as rapidly as the vaccine becomes available." He said this would divide the na-J tion's children publicly "between objects of charity and those whose parents can afford to pay for the vaccine."

The re quirements apparently meant answering questions by intelli gence officers about their months of captivity behind the Bamboo Curtain. The fliers disclosed after their return Wednesday that they had pleaded guilty to violating Red Chinese air space, and hinted they may have signed some papers for the Chinese prior to their trial. But for now, Judith Heller, wife of Lt. Col. Edwin L. Heller of Wynnewood, Pa., said it for all of them with: "It is really a dream come true. I am now queen for all eternity." The reunion began Thursday when a plane landed at Hickam Field and the nine relatives, laughing and crying, came tum- ling down the gangplank to em brace the four fliers. The four fliers, expelled from Communist China only last Tuesday, besides Heller, are Capt. Harold Fischer, Swea City, la.; 1st Lt. Lyle Cameron, Lin coln, Neb., and 1st Lt. Roland Parks of Omaha. Their relatives were Mrs. Hel ler; Mr. and Mrs. Harold E. Fischer, Fischer's parents; Mr. and Mrs. Rolland Cameron, Cameron's parents, and his brother, Robert; and Parks' par ents, Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Parks, and their other son, Richard. The Air Force flew them here from the mainland at no ex pense for the laughing, weeping reunion. NEW LOCATION Chris the Tailor 36 N.
